Laminated Beams
Laminated Beams
You’re planning a pergola, a sturdy deck, or a statement interior beam. You want clean lines, strength, and a finish that looks professional without the professional price tag.
Laminated beams are a DIYer's solution.
Built layer by layer and bonded for strength, laminated timber is more resistant to warping and twisting than standard wood. For the DIYer, it means you can take on bigger projects with confidence. For the designer in you, it gives the freedom to shape spaces that are both functional and striking.
What Makes Them Special
Laminated beams bring muscle and beauty in equal measure. They carry heavy loads with ease, making them perfect for roofing, pergolas, or even decorative statement pieces. Unlike single timber beams, they’re engineered to stay true, so the structure you put your time and effort into looks just as good years down the line.
Why Pine Laminated Beams?
Pine laminated beams, in particular, are a DIY favourite. They’re affordable, lightweight, and easy to work with, which makes them ideal whether you’re framing a roof or shaping a garden feature. It’s strength without the struggle, versatility without the steep price tag.
From Budget to Build
When it comes to pricing, laminated beams hit the sweet spot. You get premium performance without overspending, which makes them a smart choice for projects big or small. Whether you’re planning a major build or a weekend upgrade, they give you more value for your investment.
Choosing the Right Beam
Picking the right beam isn’t guesswork, it’s about matching material and size to the job at hand. For example, a laminated beam can handle wide spans without sagging, while a solid timber beam works well for shorter, load-bearing applications. Steel beams bring the muscle for heavy structural projects, whereas engineered beams offer strength without the bulk, making them easier to work with.
It’s also worth considering finish: treated beams are a must for outdoor use, while primed or laminated options save you prep time indoors. And don’t forget weight and handling: a beam that’s too heavy can slow down your build and require extra hands or equipment.
At BUCO, you’ll find beams in multiple materials, sizes, and finishes - plus advice on what works best for decking, roofing, framing, or custom builds. The right choice upfront means fewer adjustments later, and a structure that’s both safe and built to last.
Build With Ease
From the shelves in-store to the click of online ordering, getting your hands on laminated beams is straightforward. Add delivery options to the mix and you’re saving time before you even pick up a saw. And if you’re the kind of builder who likes a second opinion, BUCO staff are on hand to share advice you can trust.
So when your next project calls for beams that balance strength and style, think laminated. Start your build with timber that’s engineered for performance and finish with a result you’ll be proud of.
